On May 28 this year, while still on bail for the air rage incident, Bharaj had gone to the Paragon Hotel in Highgate, Birmingham.

His behaviour “more than likely through drink” caused staff to call the police to eject him.

When officers arrived they were directed to the hotel’s public toilets where he continued to be “somewhat difficult” and as a result of words spoken he was arrested.

Kevin Grego, prosecuting, at Birmingham Crown Court, said that did not seem to be sufficient for him and Bharaj then threatened to kill one of the officers and he called them “white b******s.

Recorder John Edwards jailed Bharaj, who appeared in the dock on crutches and pleaded guilty to racially aggravated alarm and distress, for 10 months.

He said: “Your behaviour, as you appreciate, was obnoxious.”

The judge said as a result of the sentence he had passed it would mean that Bharaj’s prison release date, in April this year, would be pushed back a little further.

At the previous hearing the court heard that while on the Emirates flight Bharaj had threatened to punch an air hostess in the face and caused more than £2,500 worth of damage to an in flight entertainment console.

He also made sexually explicit gestures to a female member of staff and called officers “white w*****s”.
